| Micah | | We make ourselves miserable or strong; the amount of work is the same-Don Juan Ok... well I'm tattooed, with several I've done myself. I have ear piercings and a septum. All my other piercings (toungue, nipples, nostrils, ampallang and other assorted piercings) were removed due to not healing. Except the tongue, which I liked but frankly got tired of. Apparently, anything below my neck just doesn't heal well.
I'm hoping to get some new tattoo work done sometime soon, though I want something epic and interesting. I saw some spectacular work by Jeff Croce at a recent convention, the guy is a fucking genius. Seems like the kind of guy I'd say "Hey, do whatever you've always wanted to do but no one has asked for" and it'd come out beyond great.
I'm still slogging through putting this iam thing together and figuring it out, sorry it's so boring right now.
Oh yeah, the watch thing... if you care, I'm fascinated by watches and am a very active collector. | 
I like this watch

This has gotta happen. |

| 2007/07/19 22:51 Yipes. Well, I'm burnt from work. Why would anyone care? But I think I figured out what my epic back piece is going to be. Now I just need to drive the 3 hours to Jeff Croci's shop in Mtn. View here in cali to start figuring out if he even has the time/patience for this. I expect this piece to take at least a year or more to complete, with MANY trips and lots of $$$$. But I also expect to have one of those "holy SHIT.." tattoos that covers nearly my entire back and legs. I fully expect to exit this a different person than I entered it as, because of the elapsed time and also the tremendous amount of sustained pain I expect to endure. And by expect, I mean "look forward to".
Fucking tired. |

| Ok... is this worth the hoops? | |
| 2007/07/16 22:08 Not sure what to think about the iam community yet... it seems from the boilerplate and the non-reassuring reminders at every corner that the culture of tolerance has pretty strict guidelines... we tolerate you as long as you follow our guidelines and expectations very specifically.
Well, ok so I'm still figuring it all out. Maybe I'm into it. Maybe not. But I sure don't like being told that contribution is compulsory. |
